I was reviewing my tests and came to some questions on most stable
chair conformations. The most stable is equatorial-equatorial but when
they are cis conformations some are most stable as one being axial and the
other equatorial (first test last four question on the test). Is this
because they are only one (or 3,5 etc) apart, so to have greatest spacing
they are in opposite (one up, one down) and this happens to take place at
opposite places (axial/equatorial)?
